and republicans and most big business seem determined to muddy that water even more. But whether a person has money for the rent or Mortage is a clear and present issue to even an idiot. In my state of Florida, more and more, the people buying coastal homes with a sea view are welloff, many of those homes are in the millions of dollars, it is almost impossible to buy a $400,000 coastal townhouse or condo with a view here now.

It doesn't really make sense to me that Michael Bennet should be out, pnwmom Aug 2019 #3

He met the criteria Trenzalore Aug 2019 #5

He's rich enough that he could spend money for lots of online ads to get the dollar donors. pnwmom Aug 2019 #6

Tom Steyer isn't on the debate stage and he is certainly richer Trenzalore Aug 2019 #7

Steyer started MUCH later (July 2019) than Yang (Nov. 2017) pnwmom Aug 2019 #8

This is a good idea and I am not for Yang...no way given political realities that we will be able Demsrule86 Aug 2019 #22

Great leaders LEAD. They don't just follow public opinion polls. pnwmom Aug 2019 #28

I can tell you what Yang is running on. I can't tell you what Bennett is running on Recursion Aug 2019 #18

That's also because Yang has been running since November 2017. pnwmom Aug 2019 #20

What's the alternative? DrToast Aug 2019 #24

Thank you for the answer. n/t MarcA Aug 2019 #29

Yes Recursion Aug 2019 #19

Wow. This could make for all kinds of bizarre scenarios. n/t MarcA Aug 2019 #30
